Piles of vegetables were dumped outside the tax office in Morlaix


French vegetable farmers protesting against falling living standards have set fire to tax and insurance offices in town of Morlaix, in Brittany.
The farmers used tractors and trailers to dump artichokes, cauliflowers and manure in the streets and also smashed windows, police said.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls condemned protesters for preventing firefighters from dealing with the blaze.
The farmers say they cannot cope with falling prices for their products.
A Russian embargo on some Western goods - imposed over the Ukraine crisis - has blocked off one of their main export markets.
About 100 farmers first launched an overnight attack on an insurance office outside Morlaix, which they set light to and completely destroyed, officials said.
They then drove their tractors to the main tax office in the town where they dumped unsold artichokes and cauliflowers, smashed windows and then set the building on fire.
French media said the farmers then blocked a busy main road in Morlaix in both directions........
Comment: I hope the "French" politicians are glad now that they've involved their country in the internal affairs of others, to their own constituents' detriment. Ironic that it's over Ukraine; before communism destroyed that country, in was known as the breadbasket of Europe. Or was it Romania? Amounts to about the same thing -- believe it was both.

Maybe the French are going to lead the way in showing the world the way to some true liberté, not license; fraternité, not the forced and artificial brotherhood that gliberalism brings; and sane, lawful égalité as opposed to the contrived, distorted and distorting situation brought by government dictates such as "affirmative action", open borders and AFDC.

These farmers' action will be called extreme, but pray tell, what is the proper response when your government is cannibalistic and works around the clock to cannibalize you and your country?

Serious question.
